Hey everyone. I want to do something unique with my car when I get new wheels, so I've decided gunmetal might be interesting. Not quite as monotone as all black, but still stealthy. I'm thinking of either the gunmetal ZR1's with the polished lip or the gunmetal C5/Y2K's. However, I don't want 18's in the back, so I was thinking of picking up a set of 17" x 8" C5's and having the rears widened to 9.5". Any opinions? Also, I need pics of black cars with gunmetal wheels. Thanks.

Hmmm??
I'm not too sure about this one, but whatever floats your boat.

You don't like it? Any particular reason why? I'm thinking of the Black Z06's I've seen in person with gunmetal wheels and they looked nice. I want a stealthy, dark look without going all black on the wheels too.

I was thinking of a different shade of gunmetal. Almost just a really dark grey. The color of those C5 wheels kinda clashes with the black.

Have you thought of doing black chrome?

Briefly, but I haven't really seen too many wheels offeres in black chrome, where as gunmetal is more common. Do you know of any or would I have to get them custom finished?

The ones that I saw. The guy bought a set of C5 wheels and had the coated in black chrome.

I posted a few pictures of it.

IF you find pics I am interested also.. I have not purchased wheels yet because I am not 100% sure what I like.. And I am waiting for tax returns to do it with..

That looks sick....thanks. BTW, I really like the way the C5's look on your car. What kind of Goodyears are those?

the back are 295's goodyear supercar tires.

Excellent...thanks. It's just that I haven't seen too many 295's around, so I figured I'd ask. How do they hook?

8banger

iTrader: (16)

Whoa...I wonder how much that would cost me...

I have 275's upfront and 295's out back, they hook alot better than my mich's did. They do pretty good but Im till gonna have to get some DR's for the track

I was thinking about getting some darker colored wheels for my Z28 but decided against it. I think when you do that there is just too much black and you loose a lot of the lines in the car. They would have to be spotless or it would make the car seem dirty all the time. I like black cars with the contrast of a lighter wheel although I think darker wheels look better on C5's than fbodies.
